    ID Help - Sylt / Germany

    Warbler ID / Austria

    Hi, I would be really thankful for some help with the one below. Somehow I would go for Barred Warbler (maybe due to the white lined feathers on the wings) or Booted Warbler, but I´m not really convinced of that option. Unfortunately I´ve never seen none of them in real life… location...

    ID problems / Austria, Tyrol

    @John: I actually noted Wheatear in the field, but then saw the picture at home and got confused by the blue-grey back and the little orange... but Wheatear seems right to me too - and damn it I will never leave my 7D at home for a tour!
